Patagonia Lightwire Brief

The ultimate adventure briefcase, the Patagonia Lightwire Brief is designed to haul all your office gear or the whole enchilada for an overnight getaway. It's made with recycled polyester and features an independent, padded and suspended computer sleeve that protects a 17-inch Mac or 15-inch PC laptop against hard drops. A zippered external pocket gives one-handed access to a portable office organizer. A brushed, fleece-lined pocket holds an audio device, while other pockets stow cell phone, airline tickets, two water bottles, sunglasses and valuables. A fully padded bottom protects the contents and provides a stable base for stand-up performance. The split shoulder strap slides over the carry handle when not in use. Made with a soft, lightweight 150-denier recycled polyester double-weave exterior and a 200-denier polyester liner; both have a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Shoulder straps: polyester 3-D spacer mesh.

nice bag
This bag is the perfect size and is great for getting all of my stuff to and from school (I teach high school). My Mac laptop fits perfectly and there is plenty of room for my grading and other extras.

I really like it!
Lightweight but really sturdy. I use it to hop between my campuses (I work in the field of school psychology) carrying my files, laptop, notes and on occasion - parts of test kits!

Awesome!
This little pack is perfect for an urban environment. Not only do I use it to carry my Sigg bottle, keys, and wallet, but when I get home at night I can still use to take my dog on a walk to the park. It is lightweight, is hidden by its size, and stylish. This really is the perfect bag.

Perfect
When I received the Lightwire, I found it also had a slash pocket with a velcro seal, perfect for last minute files or magazine. Light and roomy. comfortable on the shoulder. Perfect for an overnight or work/computer bag.
